The intervention for healthcare providers was made up of two 45-min sessions organized around two primary themes knowledge of child cognitive development and effective parent-child communication skills in the context of parental disclosure. The control group received nutritional education of either five 2-h sessions (parents) or two 45-min sessions (healthcare providers). The outcome assessments were conducted at baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months. Conclusion The iCOPE study is among the first efforts to develop and evaluate a theory-based and multi-level intervention to promote culturally and developmentally appropriate parental HIV disclosure in China. It has implications for healthcare providers, social workers, and policy makers as it will provide efficacy data on how to enhance appropriate parental HIV disclosure and will shed light on developing a clinical guideline regarding parental HIV disclosure in China and other low- and middle-income countries. © The Author(s) 2020.Objectives Atrial fibrillation after surgery is associated with increased rates of heart failure and ischemic stroke, and extension of hospitalization. Bisoprolol is a β-blocker used to reduce heart rate and manage arrhythmias during atrial fibrillation. However, the safety and efficacy of bisoprolol transdermal patch treatment in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation remain unclear. Methods We retrospectively assessed the electronic health records of our hospital between September 2013 and July 2018 and identified patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation who had been treated with a bisoprolol transdermal patch. We excluded patients with sinus rhythm using bisoprolol transdermal patch to prevent atrial fibrillation recurrence and those with sustained atrial fibrillation before surgery. Data on heart rhythm, heart rate, and blood pressure at the baseline and after 24 h of treatment were obtained from the electronic health records. Results Of the 603 patients treated with the bisoprolol transdermal patch, 61 patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation after noncardiac surgery were included. The bisoprolol transdermal patch was discontinued due to bradycardia in two patients (3.3%). In both cases, the heart rate increased after the removal of the bisoprolol transdermal patch and no additional treatment was necessary. Among the 61 patients, sinus rhythm was restored within 24 h of bisoprolol treatment in 47 patients (77.0%). The heart rate significantly decreased from 124.8 ± 26.3 bpm at the baseline to 78.9 ± 16.6 bpm at 24 h after treatment (p  less then  0.001). There were no significant differences in the systolic and diastolic blood pressures between patients before and at 24 h after treatment. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that the bisoprolol transdermal patch is well tolerated and effective in patients with atrial fibrillation after noncardiac surgery. © The Author(s) 2020.Background Patients suffering from eating disorders (ED) have a substantially increased risk for developing poor oral health. In this regard, dietary habits in combination with obsessive behavior as well as the expression and intensity of the disease are of utmost importance. This study aimed to investigate diet and behavioral habits in patients with ED compared to healthy controls. Methods All patients who initiated treatment in an ED clinic during 1 year were invited to participate in the study. Sixty-five patients were admitted out of which 54 agreed to participate 50 women and 4 men, mean age 21.5 years, range 10-50 years. From a public dental health clinic, 54 sex-and age-matched controls where selected. In all participants a comprehensive questionnaire was completed. ED patients were analyzed with respect to their self-perceived disease state when they felt "relatively good" (ED-good) and "bad" (ED-bad) as well as if they reported vomiting or not. Recilisib clinical trial Results The ED-good patients reported significantly high For ED-bad, lower frequency intake of lunch meals (OR 0.59, CI 0.39-0.88) and sweet biscuits were predictive (OR 0.15, CI 0.05-0.48). Conclusions ED patients present a number of dietary and other types of behavior that are potentially harmful for oral health. It is important to retrieve reports on the ED behaviors in both relatively good and bad disease state in order for the medical team to prescribe adequate advice and treatment. © The Author(s). 2020.Background People with diabetes have been shown to be at risk for disordered eating compared to their non-diabetic peers. However, the majority of studies have been conducted in relatively small samples drawn from clinical diabetes settings or registries. Community-based samples are required to better understand disordered eating behaviours in this population. In a large community-based population sample of Australian adolescents, this study aimed to (1) investigate disordered eating behaviours in adolescents reporting a diagnosis of diabetes compared to their non-diabetic peers and (2) test associations between disordered eating behaviours and insulin restriction. Methods Secondary school students (n = 4854; mean (SD) age 14.4 (1.6) years; 47% boys) completed an online survey, including self-reported presence of diabetes, demographics, weight status, substance use, insulin restriction and disordered eating behaviours. Clinically meaningful cut-offs for disordered eating behaviours were generated for analysisthose with comorbid diabetes and disordered eating behaviours. Future longitudinal studies are required to evaluate disordered eating behaviours in those with diabetes over time in community-based samples. © The Author(s). 2020.Terry's nails can be manifested in systemic diseases like cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, and other conditions which emphasizes the importance of physical examination in every clinical encounter. © 2020 The Authors.
